We Have a Winner!

Blandford Nature Center & Mixed Greens is pleased to announce the winner of their recent Video Scavenger Hunt—Kate Gordon of Grand Rapids, with her video, “Crabby’s Adventure”, the story of a crab touring the grounds of Blandford Nature Center. For her hard work, Kate will receive two tickets to see Jack Johnson in concert on June 18th in Clarkston, MI, and a feature spot on the Jack Johnson/All At Once Explore page!

Runner-up Holly Orians (“Captain Sunflower and the Evil Doctor DDT”), also of Grand Rapids, will receive a pair of tickets to the Jack Johnson show as well.

The 3-minute video will be viewable at http://www.jackjohnsonmusic.com/allatonce/explore. Viewings of this video will translate into donations for Blandford Nature Center—the Johnson Ohana Charitable Foundation will donate $1 each time someone watches the full video of Crabby’s Adventure at the Jack Johnson site.
